MCOQueen's Ramblings

I woke up early to go grocery shopping this morning. First to Super Wal-mart in Raleigh and then to Earthfare which is down the street from it. Wal-mart had Tangelos for 33 cents each. I couldn't resist getting a bunch. I just hope the fruit tastes good. I always end up spending more than I want to at Earthfare. All that healthy food. I just can't resist. For some odd reason, I am getting this urge to buy an aquarium and fish again. Then, I think back to the time I had a 10 gallon aquarium and several fish and how much of a hassle it is to keep the aquarium clean and all the illnesses fish can get. Ugh! If I ever do decide to go the fish route again, it will be a very small aquarium with just one or two fish. That's it!

I managed to get home around 11am. I put away all the groceries and ate some lunch. I then decided (since I managed to remember to buy a padded manila envelope)to mail my hair to "Locks of Love". They're actually located in Florida. I had no idea where they are located. I looked them up on the net and filled out and printed their donation form. I measured my hair (about 14 - 16 inches long) and put it in a ziploc bag, wrote down the length and sealed it in the envelope along with my donation form. I was trying to avoid going to the post office to see how much postage I needed, but I ended up going anyway. I got to the post office around 12:15pm. I only had to wait in line for about 10 minutes. Not nearly as long as I thought it would be. I made sure to get Delivery Confirmation so I'd know when they have received my hair. It only cost $1.71. My hair is thick and heavy. I knew it would be over a dollar. Anyways, I'm very happy to have finally sent out my hair and hope that another certain someone who shall remain nameless (you know who you are) will finally send out her hair, if she hasn't done so already. Hee hee! :)

Alrighty then, it is now time to change my kitty's cat litter box. Yippee! Not!

I made myself get up earlier this morning so I could go and do a deposit for my mom at the bank, and then go feed my brother's kitties. I stood in line forever at the bank. The kitties were at their usual spot when I opened the door of the apartment. They're usually standing on a small mirror table next to the door just staring at me. I fed them and stayed and watched a little bit of TV while they annoyed me half to death. On my way to my car, a big insect flew into my arm and bounced right off it. I hate it when that happens! Completely freaks me out!

I decided to make the "Healthy Baked Macaroni and Cheese" today. It wasn't as time consuming as I thought it would be. I am currently eating some. It came out really good. I think I'll take some to work so I can eat it tonight for my dinner. I think there's a playoff baseball game every night this week starting tonight. I can't wait for Saturday!

Last night, the very first two commercials I was going to dub in had out of phase audio (not in stereo, it sounds horrible). I had to correct the problem by using a XLR or Y-cable which would split the audio. I got really good at using the Y-cable last year because of VA Tech Sports Show. Almost every time I got that feed, it only had one channel of audio.

I have to get ready to go to work now. Later.
